POLITICAL.

Within less than a year, says the Reno
Gas<fk<, the political ea!dron in Nevada will
begin to boil. The people will I've called
upon to vote for q successor TO President
Cleveland, Justice Of the Supreme Court,
successor to Leonard and Congressman, sue
eessor to Woodburn. Laying aside the
Presidential question, who will be our can
didates? Although he has had a second
term, IN all probability Leonard will be a
candidate to succeed himself. His probable
antagonists in his own party are Boardman.
OF Washoe, and Woodburn. Of Storey. l.
is we'll understood thai Wo"dburn, who will
have served three terms in Congress, would
much prefer the position OF Justice TO that Of
Congressman. The possible Democratic
candidates for Justice are Stone and Hufia.
ker, Of Storey, Cresswell, Of Lander, Rives,
Of Eureka. and Seawell, of Esmeralda
Ivy no means certain. II he does not enter
the race for Justice Of course Woodburn
leads all the rest for Congress. Foley is
candidate for the u S. Senate, but might
be indnced to accept the nomination for
Congress. II Stephens had good health SO
that he could make the race he would be
most formidable candidate. Powning says
he has no political bee whatever in his bon
net, but this is taken with several grains Of
allowance. Williams Of Ormsby, denies
the soft impeachment that he would like
Congress, bu, his friends who know that he
has both the ability and half a million to
back it up think him available and his can,
didacy probable. Poujade, of Lincoln, too,
is mentioned in the list OF aspirants for
Congressional honors. On the Democratic
side it is rumored tina, Cassidy will again
shy his castor into the ring. Westerheld is
nester in politics and would run like
scared wolf, but he has little hopes Of Dem
ocratic victory next Fall, and does not pro
pose to run to lose. Mcmillan, who was
pitted against Woodburn, still retains pres
tige in his party and may "bob up serenely"
III tAC ucAl ACiuOOialiS OlAtc SaHVchtiou
Pike for several years has had an itching to
wear Congressman shoes and will no
doubt keep his weather eye peeled to see
what is going on. AT this early date OF
course i, is quite beyond the ken Of mortals
to see who will be named for these two i'm
portant Offices, but it is apparent that there
will be in the field for each position plesty
Of candidates with hrst.class qualifications. |

sentenced by Judge Rising TO be hung, has
had his sentence commuted TO imprisonment
for life, and in few year, will be seeking
a pardon. We advise the Board 10 allow

AND now the ministers Of the gospel IN

with the text "Why the Anarchists should
not be Hung" They argue that the men
would be looked upon as heroes by their
associates, and this would lead Others 10
commit devilish and unlawful deeds that
their names might be handed down from
generation to generation to their miserable
offspring as having died the death OF
marty for the cause of right, and all such
stuff. Such men should be hung on general
principles. Soon these reverend gentlemen
will be abiding to America as the home of
the Anarchist and the dynamiter instead of
the Gland Of the Free and the Home Of
the Brave That would sound wrff;
wouldn't it. Every ANARCHIST tina, comes

ABOUT THE BOON.

Several OF the State papers are anxious to
have an immigration Bureau established and
set the Nevada boom rolling in grand style.
Suppose that this is accomplished and there
is rush Of outsiders to Nevada to buy land
and property; what will they do' Where is
the land that is fit at present for agricultural
purposes? Is it not all or nearly all taken
up now? Had not outsiders better know
this now than after they get here and find

to work itself into prominence and thai

to promote better facilities for irrigation.
